About

Social Entrepreneur, Founder, Designer

Designer and social entrepreneur passionate about ecological and social impact, working through participatory design methodologies. My background spans partnerships, product development, community engagement, and brand design.

I’ve worked with a range of organisations from cultural institutions to businesses and local groups to design programmes, workshops, and initiatives that promote circularity, responsibility, and connection. With a background in creative direction, I’m driven by curiosity and the belief that collaboration across people, practices, and systems can create meaningful change.
